Thailand's Natural Resource and Environment Minister Suwit Khunkitti and Cambodia Deputy Prime Minister Sok An Friday left their countries for Paris for the battle at the World Heritage Committee over the management plan of world heritage inscribed Preah Vihear temple.

Thailand aimed to delay the Cambodia's management plan for the Hindu temple, which was listed as the world heritage site since 2008.

"We have clear information that the temple was wrongly listed as the world heritage and some parts of it trespassed into Thai territory," Suwit told reporters.
